A man tried to protect a crucial forest reserve for monarch butterflies, and now he's dead.

Did Trump intentionally pick #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth to center a Eurocentric narrative? Trump approved DAPL KXL pipelines thru treaty land days into office, cut Native programs, ran anti-Native ads & uses our genocide to rip on Warren.
Yah, he knew.
